Legislation is going to make police unions transparent in every Blue state. And the Red States will have to follow. I am seeing greater and faster change than I saw in the 70s/80s. I thank Bill Clinton and Al Gore for making social media possible. Lotsa bullshit on the internet, but when people come together to drive the change, technology and social media are leading the way. People are capturing the reality on every police-state transgression and the fascists can't spin the totality of events quick enough.

Wait another 4 months and enjoy the change!
